Taylor Harwood-Bellis - move to Southampton completed.

He's the captain of the England U-21 side who have just won the Euros! Hardly a dud, what do you think would be the asking price for Smith-Rowe, Gibbs-White or Curtis Jones? £20m?
 
I’d rather sell him with a buy back option - he’s a good passer of the ball, but I feel he could be destroyed for pace in the Premier League, and his value would diminish before next summer.

To be fair you don’t have to be lightning fast to be a good centre back. There are plenty of centre backs who use their intelligence to stop fast players. Thiago silva is a good example of that - I wouldn’t say he was really quick.

He doesn’t seem to get as much hype as others. I don’t really understand it. Captain of the euro winning u21s and one of the best players in the championship last season.

Yeah might not be right for us with the high line we play, but there are a lot of teams who defend deeper and more compactly that he'd shine in. There are a lot of top flight centre backs who aren't lightning quick.
 
There are plenty of decent PL centre-backs that aren’t particularly quick - Mee, Ream, Dawson, Dunk, Andersen etc. I’m sure it won’t be too much of an issue for THB
 
Think THB should be kept at the club. If we lose Cancello and Laporte with only one defence signing we will be down! Other young defenders have left on loan etc.THB is confident, strong and reads the game.

He wont play,the lads we have here are far superior.

He needs to be sold.
